# Arc Gold Token Check

> Arc Gold Token Check is a paid API for AI agents from apexfaucet.xyz, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-22).

Checks whether a given token on the Arc blockchain is a real gold or xStock token, scanning DEX pools and identifying predatory or fake copies

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability arc-gold-token-check-ef36e93f
```

Example prompt: Can you run an Arc Gold Check on this token to see if it's a real gold or xStock token, or if there are predatory pool copies I should know about before I trade?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need to verify the authenticity of a gold or xStock token on the Arc blockchain, identify predatory or clone pools, or find the legitimate DEX pool before trading. Prefer this over generic honeypot checkers (which target Base/Ethereum) when the token is on Arc. It is purpose-built for Arc gold and xStock token validation with pool-level analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Token not found on Arc — returns empty realToken and null bestPool
- No pools discovered — pools array is empty
- Service timeout — ageSeconds unusually high indicating slow chain response
- Invalid or malformed token address — may return ok:false
- Network issues with Arc RPC — data object may be incomplete

## How this service works

Free APEX on X1, and free USDC plus APEX on Arc, three times a day. No gas, no sign-up. Plus a swap, a screener, APEX City and token checks.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean, a 'data' object containing the check timestamp, DEX info, all pools found, any predatory pools detected, copies of the token, the identified real token data, the best pool, the count of gold-named tokens on Arc, and elapsed processing time, plus the USDC amount paid for the call.
